Kris Wood

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Kris

She’s great (which of course includes good)
From registration to cap, gown, and hood

Hour by hour
She’s organizing power —

We’re speaking, of course, of Kris Wood

She’s flexible, highly adept
She’s worked while most others have slept

Invincible, unshakeable
Truly unbreakable —

Our records are very well kept

We’re secure when Kris is about
Success is not ever in doubt

But a year from today
They finally will say

Kris Wood has at last been psyched out

Kris is the best in the biz
A genius, an ace, and a whiz

Kris, though she’s boss,
It not crass or cross —

Bubbles of bliss? She’s pure fizz

From her lair in southeast 402
She shepherds a marvelous crew

She’s great and she’s good
Let us all knock on Wood —

There’s nothing she can’t or won’t do

How she does it, no one quite knows
But her attention is great, and it shows

From the large to the small
She attends to it all

If 402’s a garden, she’s the rose

KRIS PS

Waves to our wondrous Kris Wood —
Can people be really this good?

She sails on our sea (RC)
Unbounded and free —

May bliss flow to Kris as bliss should

With caring attention from Kris
Nothing is ever amiss

We know what she’s made of
This Iowa native —

Self-interacting pure bliss
